A Navigation in Mahogany
LAUREN CHO

The cat’s collar strikes a dissonant tune with the water bowl
chiming six hours until time stops. My sock catches on a lone nail jutting out of the floorboards a jagged tooth. The house sighs a hot mahogany-laced breath sending the dust collecting on its window sills spilling into hallways strangled with what was. Yet I can dance across the eraser shavings stuck in the carpet for the hour is mine. And the walls stop breathing. |
